My gas tank is leaking a good amount of gas and is dripping all over my exhaust. Major fire risk and also my wiring has been all messed up. When my brights are on, my speakers make an unbearable screaming noise and I saw that this was an issue for many saturn ion users. There was a recall on this car for the same gas tank/pump issue years ago. Can I get this issue fixed free of charge or has the recall expired?

Second day gas can be seen dripping off of the fuel filter, the fuel filter is coated with gasoline. Gasoline pours from underneath the rear passenger side of the vehicle any time its started.

Since day one of this vehicle which had only 11 miles on it, you can not fill the gas tank. If you go past 1/2 a tank of gas in the car it smells of fuel while sitting or driving. It only has 47,000 miles on the car today and you still have to be very careful to only put a little gas in the tank if you don't want the fumes inside or outside the car. I don't understand why this hasn't been fixed under a recall. It is very scary to drive the car in fear of a fire or explosion. I cannot park this car in my garage as it filled my whole house up with gas fumes which was very nauseating to say the least. This happens while sitting or driving

Fuel leaking from top of fuel tank, coming from broken port on the fuel pump. This is the same issue as documented in GM recall 09226C, but because this vehicle isn't in any of the states listed I have to pay for it out of pocket. How can a recall only cover vehicles in certain states.

Extremely strong fuel smell has begun this week after driving vehicle and is parked. See no leaks of gasoline around vehicle. Has low mileage for age, under 90,000 miles. Certain areas have been recalled for this, but not for my VIN# at this time. Has to be same problem. Sounds identical. I will need to have my 2007 Saturn Ion inspected.
